What people think why i became a bookbinder: Oh she wants to explore her artistic horizon with those pretty leather bound books of hers. She even gives them out as gifts to her friends. It most likely helps her with anxiety or maybe she just wanted a more special costume made notebook.

Why I actually became a bookbinder: I just illegally downloaded and printed out several of my favourite fanfics and books and started binding them into books cuz I love reading them but looking at screens for too long gives me headaches.

Update! Important

Hey everyone! OP here and geez this post has truly blown up over the years. However there are some things I wish to address that people have brought to my attentions and i URGE all of you to please reblog this version of the post from here on out.

The program i use to organise the different pages in the right order is bookbinder’s collate. It costs around €10 from what I remember and is really easy to use but there are other free programs too.

I made this post when I was 17 and was yet unaware of the legality and history surrounding fanfictions. Fanfictions have had a VERY LONG battle, especially given that back in the certain Authors and creators of Original IPs would straight up sue fanfic authors for copyright reasons. Even today Fanfics are in a copyright greyzone, because you cannot make money off of them as the IP the fanfics are based on do not belong to you.

Because of this blindspot of teenage-me assumed downloading fanfics was illegal. So as many have pointed out since: Printing and Binding fanfictions is not illegal IF and ONLY IF you bind them for personal use (like in my case I bind them into physical books because I cannot look at any screen for a prolonged time due to some slight visual impairments) and do not make money from it.

However, I have since been made aware of a disturbing rise in etsy stores and even Amazon pages which SELL bound fanfictions which were more often then not, not even written by the Etsy-store-owner. THIS is in fact very much illegal and can endanger the fanfic community and everything we have fought for in the past.

Now I do not claim that this post of mine is at the root cause of this rise in etsy-fanfic-binders. This post does not have that many notifications in the grand scheme of things and has never even made its way outside of tumblr.

All that being said i still receive daily comments and tags and reblogs of this post of people saying “oh i am so gonna do this!” And “Oh I will now bind my favourite fanfics too” so i do feel like i have the moral obligation to make sure that whoever get inspired to become a bookbinder through this post, won’t use it to harm fandom culture and fanfiction as a form of art all in the pursuit of greed for money

Transformers is basically the X-Men:

A semi-Crack Essay by someone who has never watched Transformers and has only watched the X-Men Movies and a handful of X-Men cartoons

As the title and subtitle suggest I have never consumed any Transformers media in my life but have had Transformers Yaoi pop up on my FYP for several months now as some of my fave artists and mutuals have started to really get into this franchise.

And from the things I have gathered through second and third hand about this franchise’s lore over these past few months I have come to the conclusion that it is the X-Men but everyone is a car.

Let me demonstrate

Optimus Prime = Professor X/Charles Xavier

Leader of the hero team. Ex-boyfriend of the main villain. Basically in charge of a bunch of child soldiers. Wants to stop his Ex from committing genocide twice a week.

Megatron = Magneto/Erik Lehnsherr

Leader of the Villain Team. Victim of oppression turned terrorist. Doomed Old Man Yaoi with Optimus/Charles. Used to be “good friends” before the incident™. Makes their break up 50 years ago everyone else’s problem.

Bumblebee = Wolverine

Yellow™ and while the X-Men’s/Autobots roster and team members change with ever single timeline and adaptation, Bumblebee, just like Wolverine, 👏WILL👏 BE 👏THERE👏! (Context under the break)

Can't wait for the uniqueness of the holocaust to be a topic of importance in a political campaign in america in 2024. That's how it should be. That's normal

gsirvitor

It's true, the Holocaust isn't unique, it holds the largest impact because it is the most recent one, at least for jews, given time other genocides will overshadow it, and it should be taught in the same vein as other historic atrocities.

There was the Effacer le tableau.

The Hutu massacres of the first Congo war.

The Rwandan Genocide.

The Bosnian Genocide.

The Isaaq Genocide.

The Anfal campaign.

The Gukurahundi.

The Cambodian Genocide.

The East Timor Genocide.

The Ikiza.

The Bangladesh Genocide, which may have a repeat very soon.

The Holodomor.

The Great Leap Forward.

The Armenian Genocide.

I can go on.

To limit education to but one atrocity, when all of these happened in the same century is an attempt to reframe or even hide these atrocities, for instance I have seen many socialists defend both the Holodomor and the Armenian Genocide, it does those being educated a disservice by treating the Holocaust as unique while surrounded by a myriad of other heinous genocides.

unpopularly-opinionated

I will say context is important, and I don't know the context here, but yeah he's right to acknowledge the many other genocides that exist.

brazenautomaton

I mean the context in the screenshot provided is obviously correct and vindicates what Walz is saying. Someone screenshotted that as proof Walz was wrong because they could not read the words in it, just that it somehow disagrees with them.

He fucking says, right there, "to exclude other acts of genocide severely limited students' ability to synthesize the lessons of the Holocaust and ability to apply them elsewhere," that's the quote that this thread's OP and Twitter OP both looked at and got enraged by without reading! Guess what? If you teach people the Holocaust was completely unique and unprecedented and unrelated to any other patterns of behavior, the take-home lesson is that it might as well have been done by space aliens and there's no reason to be concerned with what humans are doing!

cookingwithroxy

and by divorcing the Holocaust from all other genocides, it also allows people to not have a framework of other mass atrocities, which surprisingly enough seems to make them believe that the holocaust could have actually NOT happened, considering how they don't have a framework about how often atrocities happen.

starfieldcanvas

the follow-up here is that when walz taught his class of sophomore high school students about the holocaust, he had them extensively study other genocides and the social conditions that preceded them. the class wrapped up with a group project trying to predict where the next genocide was most likely to take place

(this was in 1993)

and where did they collectively conclude the next genocide was most likely to happen?

Rwanda.

if, like me, you can't remember the date of the Rwandan genocide off the top of your head, it kicked off in April 1994.

So ... when Tim Walz says that studying the Holocaust as part of a pattern is vitally important, he is not talking out of his ass.

some-triangles

As a person of Jewish descent I think it's really, really important that people understand that the holocaust was not the only genocide in history, nor the "worst", that the major way in which it was exceptional was the degree to which it was systematized, documented and centrally planned, that it wasn't the only genocide happening at the time, that there are multiple genocides occurring across the world right now, and that treating the shoah as a freak one-time disaster has a number of terrible downstream political effects, both as described above and in its underpinning of Israeli exceptionalism

cuuzca

Lmao guys. So I did a thing.

Here was the tweet.

And then I—

Post-DQB2 Hargon:

Not exactly evil but just Done™️ with everything. Enjoys doodling his OC’s, literally the inhabitants of the Isle of Awakening. He’s had those sketches for a long time, just didn’t show Malroth.

Still salty over being killed. Again.

hello! i just saw your post on bookbinding fanfics, and had a question.

how do you print the fanfic out?? do you use your own printer or go to a print shop? oh also how do you format the pages, just paste it on a word doc and add headers/page numbers??

sorry that ended up being several questions. thank you!!

Hello! Sorry for the probably VERY late reply. Haven’t been on tumblr in ages.

So basically I tend to print them out myself on normal DIN A4 papers.

As for the formatting i first download the fanfic as a PDF and then put them through a program called Bookbinder’s Collate. This program will instantly put the fanfic pages into signatures for you to bind.

How does one become a bookbinder?

By binding books and through training getting slowly better at it. It’s similarly to how you become an artist. By creating art and slowly getting better at it over time. Bookbinding is a form of craftsmanship and art just like drawing is afterall
